Tell me 'oh, where d'you go, when the sun stops shining?
We were cool, were were new I took you wining and dining
Take me back to those days even just for a while
And what I loved most of all was your innocent smile...
Baby, oh let's go to Paris and look at the Eiffel Tower
I'll take you shopping and buy you a pretty flower
Imagination held a picture of you so near
Manipulation, well I had no idea
That you're a love trap, you got me caught in a spell
I want my heart back, 'cause I was doing so well
You're a love trap, you lured me in with your eyes
I want the truth back, I've had enough of your lies, for now
So you win, lured me in, now you're casting me out
I'll be fine, give me time my ego's taken a clout
I thought in advance I had a stronger head
But even now, half a chance, and I'll be back in your bed
Baby, oh let's go to Paris and look at the Eiffel Tower
I'll take you shopping and buy you a pretty flower
Hey look at this, a gift from someone new
And though I know now the truth it still cuts me through
That you're a love trap, you lured me into your web
I want my thoughts back, you've overtaken my head
You play a love game, and you play it so well
You're such a sweet thing, with a poisonous spell, over me
I was never suspicious, I thought you were cool
You were sweet and delicious, but you played me the fool
And now you'll go out dancing, with some other guy
And he won't stand a chance and I'll tell him why
'Cause I was never suspicious, I thought she was cool
She was sweet and delicious, but she played me the fool
And she'll go out dancing, with some other guy
And he won't stand a chance and I'll tell him why...
Because oh you'll go to London, she'll show you Trafalgar Square
And when you're dancing, she'll act like she just don't care
And then she'll kiss you and tell you she loves those eyes
And now you're under and you don't even realise...
That she's a love trap, she's got you caught in a spell
She'll turn your thoughts black, she'll show you heaven then hell
She plays a love game, and she plays it so well
She's such a sweet thing, with a poisonous spell
She's a love trap, she lured you in with her eyes
You'll want the truth back, You'll have enough of your lies
She plays a love game, and she plays it so well
She's a sweet sweet thing, with a poisonous spell
Over you
She's got a poisonous spell over him
She's got a poisonous spell over them
She's got a poisonous spell over me.
